Well i managed to not only finish 1 contemptor dreadnought for my sons of nocturne but 2. Man that feels good. Heres the proof of the second one and finished pics of both. The poor emperors children marine has a little suprise in his hand. Can anyone say 'BOOM'

@Bottle: No one in their right mind would ever get sick of your work. You nailed it yet again!

@Nevelon: I love those old school missile launchers!

@ChaosDad: Nice work on the Broadside!

I've stalled a bit on my entry, but I'm not throwing in the towel yet! I've just been busy with other stuff over the holiday weekend.

Add me to the stalled start and cutting it fine list. Got the base and kitty both done, just got to put one on the other.

Finished!

The metal Mk I bike was a bit of a pain. Slightest knock and he came off the stand (about 3 times!) and he kept chipping so much. Gotta be so careful with those metal minis!

Anyway, here they are, 2 meltas and a plasma gun, ready to make your tank go BOOM!











Not sure about the pictures. Maybe I should switch back to my camera, where I can play with the white balance and ISO. These were taken on my Galaxy S7.

Nice work Verviedi, a very cool looking model

The Glottkin/Great Unclean One came out brilliantly Zobo, loads of little bits to take in, (and make me feel unwell, like the slime from his belly to the floor) really like how you have done the bone and the finger nails.

You always get the blood stains and splatter to look spot on Para, nice work again

A WIP of my bits so far, hoping to have it finished this bank holiday

Thank you! Appreciation is always appreciated

Excellent concept with the nuke. I'm interested in seeing it finished.

Last minute enter is last minute. I've been getting killed at work, but I want to try and enter every month this year:

This month, for Boom, I figure this adorable running bomb would probably fit the bill.

Crazy Koala (self propelled bomb, equipment, not lootable)
Range: Infinity
Maker: Corvus Belli

ang on...crazy koalas are bombs??

I've got some of them, but don't know anything about them, never actually played infinity...anyway, I love those little dudes ...and they're basically infinity's analogue to 40k's bomb squigs, which I also love??...I knew crazy koalas were awesome!

One small heresy era Ultramarines lascannon support squad, all done.

Good work n1ceguypaul, you got them in different posses which is great and some nice battle damage/weather, I find the standard posse quite bland.

I like that you always do the little details Whittlsey e.g. the tiny writing on the bikers screen. The photos do have an Yellow/Orange ting to them (which might be your light source?)

Congrats on 5 uniform looking SMs SmallChanges, the gray face mask makes them stand out rather than just all blue, good choice.

No worries, credit where credit is due, and as if like magic here is my finished entry, as you requested. I'm away for the next few days to had to finish by this evening (again mostly done but would have done a few things more with more time). Good Luck everyone.

Hope you enjoy Dr. StrangeOrk or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Mushrooms are courtesy of Zobos, Thanks for sharing how to do them last month, I wanted to find an excuse to try them out







The Writing says
Nose Cone - "Hi There" (written on the bomb in the move)
Right side of Bomb - "Handle with Care"
Left side of Bomb - "Caution - May Contain Radiation"
Both Sides - OSAF - Orknited States Airforce
Underneath - "No Kill Like Overkill"

What I was aiming to replicate

oh man, killed it again MG! ...everything about it is just great, and it may well be the clearest representation of the theme too!

nice job on the mushrooms too!...think they turned out even better than mine ...mind you, I didn't have a snotling tending to them

Love it! One of my favorite movies, and you’ve captured that scene perfectly in orky form. The snotling is a perfect little capstone to the piece.

Perfect!

But shouldn't that be Dr. StrangeOrk or: How I Learned too Stop Worrying and Loot the Bomb?

MG, that is just perfect. Love it

Was wondering how that was going to look and damn it looks awesome. Really impressed think thats got best BOOM written all over it. (Sorry)

I have learned to stop worrying and love Midget Gems' entry.

That poor little snotling; all he wanted to do was tend his mushroom garden...

I've got my lobbas done (finally), now I just need to see how much time I can devote in the next couple of days to finish off some Gretchin crew.

Great work so far everyone, good luck to those (like me) who are still finishing up!

Para mate, you seem to have missed my finished pics.

(Edit: posted these on the last page, but I may as well just repost them here)

I think I did ok, considering I just painted up one of my conversions (not my best GS by a long shot, but ehh), but Im quite happy with the pics. They show off the painting better than my last few entries. Thanks again para for the setup help.



Drak'Kor Vash'na Incundraba, Chaos Chosen of Slaanesh

Bolter+bolter+dubstep goes boom, right?



I actually painted the whole model in the traditional gold and purple pre-heres scheme, before going crazy with about 6 different shades of pink and dark grey. So its realistic, atlas fluff-wise.


Slaanesh!


Im really happy with the backpack, especially the weathering on the pipes.


Apparently this guy forgets he has a chainsword often, and just smacks enemies over the head with his bolter.


Finally, the base. Because why not.



Hopefully next round will be better for me.


Ember

So, entry done, pictures taken, and I realize looking at them...wow, that superglue really got everywhere around that foot when I mounted it to the base. Any way to correct for superglue frosting? First thought would be one more layer of satin varnish, as I did the two parts separately...

Painting over it is the only way I know, unfortunately.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone, I'm just really glad you liked it

and Loot the Bomb?

Is perfect suggestion chaoticmind, thanks

EmberlordofFire8, that model looks like hes just come out of a lamp. The blood effects look good.

Vejut, I did a quick search and the common responses on the frosting are: paint over it, use water and rub it off (careful not to rub off the paint) or reseal it with varnish of some sort. The frosting is caused by fumes when the supergue is drying.

Well done everyone with their entries. I'm finding it hard to concentrate on painting at the moment with the summer here. To many chores to do outside! Anyone else sometimes find they start to lack patience with their painting? I had greater plans for this model but I lost patience...

I love your conversion Emberlord.. very clever =)

And your imagination and skill is as phenomenal as ever Midget.

Well, tried varnishing, it..kinda worked? straw colored mess around the heaviest stuff, but not so glaringly obvious. Dakka's gallery is having fun with the 6th image, so here are 5, I'll upload the 6th if it clears.

So, here's my (very late) proof. I'll start painting it later tonight.

Phew, that was a really intense painting session! I'm covered in paint and my arm hurts from all that frantic speed-painting, but I'm finished.

Not really, of course. I took that proof picture a couple of weeks ago, and have been working on it since. I'll post a couple of WIP pics I took along the way first. I learned how to wet blend to paint this miniature. I practiced by painting Jabba The Hutt, which I mentioned earlier in the thread when it didn't look like I could possibly finish the dragon, and he appears in the background of the WIP pics.

The forum is going to mash this post into the other two, so sorry Para that you have to sort it out. The following pics are my Final Photos.









In at the last second! Well, technically half an hour after the last second, but Para hasn't put the voting thread up yet, so surely it counts.

I painted this dragon, who is actually called The Tyrant of Halpi, for a friend of mine. It was his son's birthday, and he wanted something cool to give him as a birthday present, so I offered to paint one of his board game miniatures for him. Of course he selected a foot-high dragon. The kid requested gold coins on the base (which I made myself by dicing a stick of modeling plastic like a cucumber, and a rune on one of the front teeth, which was a challenge. You can see it in the second pic. I think it's about half a milimeter high. You can barely see it with the naked eye. I tried to make it look like it's glowing blue but it's so small I'm not sure that worked. Anyway, I hope you guys like it, and more to the point I hope my friend's son likes it.

Lame, but it's all I had time for:

And I'm done! I've finished the Hammerhead. Here are my final photos:



This thing was loads of fun to paint, although it took probably twice as long as it should have (I really should be able to bash out something like this in a week, dammit! ). At least I finished it and it doesn't have to sit in painting limbo. Feel free to vote for these photos in the Dakka gallery!

P.S. The letters on the railgun spell Fury! I just had to throw that in!

Uff, barely made it. It was an extremely busy month. I managed to finish three of them.

My first Infinity minis. They are a small pain in the butt to assemble and paint cause
of the tiny details but the minis are gorgeous. I think they are the sharpest and most
detailed minis i've done.

Well, I didn't get time to base the little grotz (although I did manage to paint all 4) and I'm pretty pleased with how the lobbas turned out. Primaris space marines, meet Primary Grots! Red, Yellow, and Blue (You're my boy, blue!) Final pics (BOOOOOM!):

Didn't get his base finished or all the micro details done as I was laid off at the beginning of the month and have been looking for work and not had time to paint him, but I did get this much done and the base is still wet so I won't really be able to finish it in the allotted timeframe. Hope this is acceptable unless a mod wants to give me an extension through tomorrow, but I do not expect any special treatment so I will post these here now. Also obviously didn't have time to get him photographed, so apologies for the garbage photos.

Gah! hopefully I'm not too late.

A sniper rifle, 2 shotguns, a gatling gun, and magical fire. SOMETHING will go BOOM!
